Adrie Poldervaart verruilde deze zomer amateurkampioen Quick Boys voor Feyenoord Onder 21. Tijdens een rondleiding over Varkenoord vertelt hij over de balans tussen talenten opleiden of kampioen worden en de generatiekloof tussen een trainer van 55 en spelers van 17. “Vandaag wist er eentje niet wie André van Duin was.”
In het centrum van Rotterdam is kort na middernacht een fietser om het leven gekomen. Dat gebeurde nadat hij was aangereden door een Porsche Cayenne.
“Ik zag heel mijn leven in duigen vallen.” De tranen staan Ozan Pyade (31) nog in de ogen als hij terugdenkt aan de plofkraak op een geldautomaat bij zijn winkel in Vlaardingen-Holy. “Het plafond was ingestort, de elektra was beschadigd en de kasten waren omgevallen. Overal lagen spullen. We wisten niet waar we moesten beginnen."
Medewerkers van de RET worden geregeld geconfronteerd met ongewenst gedrag, zoals seksisme, racisme en discriminatie. Dat blijkt uit een onafhankelijk cultuuronderzoek onder het personeel, dat Rijnmond heeft kunnen lezen. "Opmerkingen die je dertig jaar geleden kon maken, die kunnen echt niet meer", zegt directeur Linda Boot.

Hammersmith and Fulham says it faces ‘biggest financial challenge in living memory’ as government cuts bite
A flagship Labour authority has warned it may have to impose a 150% council tax rise on residents to maintain current services following central government cuts under a new funding settlement.
Hammersmith and Fulham council’s cabinet has concluded in a report due to be published on Monday that such a rise would cost Band D households an additional £29.11 a week in 2027/28.

The easy thing for the people who live on the banks of the River Dart in Devon might have been to grumble and groan about the sewage spills that blight their beloved waterway.
Instead, citizen environmentalists in the area have created a unique online platform that flags up spills in real time, highlights spots that are repeatedly polluted, and sets out where improvement work is planned – and where it isn’t.

Has foodie culture gone too far? It’s a truism that to get to a lasagne recipe now, you have to wade through an essay about someone’s childhood in Tuscany. We talk about food sentimentally, consume TV about it fetishistically, slavering over slow-motion shots of chopped pepper falling on to stainless steel. We enjoy judging the food of others. We talk about the provenance of our ingredients with a kind of purity fixation. It strikes me that there’s a totalitarianism to it.
So it was bracing to watch Get Jiro (from Sunday 4 October, HBO Max), an adult animation that pairs a love of food with a taste for ultraviolence. It’s the story of a sushi chef, caught up in a bloodthirsty turf war between warring restaurants. It is set in a dystopian near-future Los Angeles, in which all human desires “including companionship, travel and sex, can be experienced … virtually”. (The episodes I’ve seen don’t go into this, explaining for example how chiropody could be experienced virtually, but that’s beside the point.)

Green party debate over the motion ‘Zionism is racism’ comes amid renewed arguments over the meaning and history of a contested term
Zack Polanski, the leader of the Green party, has said he is an anti-Zionist. As his party conference prepares to debate a motion that “Zionism is racism”, what precisely is Zionism and what is the history of the claim that it is racist?

An elegant Georgian facade, a full-width balcony and an exclusive address in South Kensington just steps from the Natural History Museum and the V&A. Yet the listing price of this west London flat at Queen’s Gate Gardens has dropped by nearly £1m since last year, to £4.4m.
It is far from an isolated case. A nearby house originally listed at £20m was slashed to £14m this year, says a local estate agent. In neighbouring Notting Hill, a stucco-fronted property that came to market two years ago at £16m is now being offered for less than £14m, they said.

OpenAI says its review in response to the Medicare and Hugging Face agent attacks is costing the company more than US$500,000 per day, as it deploys AI to examine data that would take a human 66m years to read.
The company has warned the review is ongoing, and more organisations may be informed they’ve been targeted in the near future.

North Korea fired a ballistic missile towards the sea on Saturday, South Korea and Japan said, a day after it rejected Seoul’s accusation of its mines wounding soldiers.
The missile was launched from the Wonsan area at about 6.30am towards the East Sea – also known as the Sea of Japan – and flew more than 700km (434 miles), the South Korean military said. Seoul and Washington were analysing the test for details, it added.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: The state of New Mexico asked a judge on Thursday to order Meta Platforms to pay between $35 billion and $40 billion in penalties after a jury found the company had misled consumers about the privacy of their data on Facebook in a case that came out of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Attorneys for New Mexico made the request at a hearing in a lawsuit brought following revelations that the British political consulting firm, which worked on Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, harvested personal data from as many as 87 million Facebook users through a third-party app without their consent. The jury returned its verdict on September 25. Judge Francis Mathew, who oversaw the trial in Santa Fe, will decide how much Meta must pay in financial penalties. [...] State law allows the judge to decide how much to fine Meta per violation, up to $5,000. At the hearing on Thursday, Randi McGinn, a lawyer for New Mexico, said applying the full $5,000 penalty to the number of violations would create too large of a penalty under the US Constitution's protections on due process. But the judge should order a significant payment that will impact the company, McGinn said.
"This court should speak to Meta in the only language it understands, which is money, and the value of its stock price," McGinn said. She said $35 billion to $40 billion, which represents about 20% of the possible penalties that could be awarded under state law from the verdict, would impact the stock price while complying with Meta's right to due process under the Constitution. At the hearing on Thursday, Matt Nicholson, a lawyer for Meta, called the state's request an "astronomical penalty that would obviously violate a host of constitutional provisions." In court filings, Meta urged Mathew to cap the penalties at $3.45 billion. The jury may have said it found Meta's statements misleading, but the evidence shows that Meta does not sell user data and New Mexico did not prove that any consumer had actually been misled, the company said in court filings. The judge said he expected to issue a ruling later this month.

UTRECHT (ANP) - Woningzoekenden kunnen zaterdag tussen 11.00 en 15.00 uur op meer locaties terecht tijdens de halfjaarlijkse Open Huizen Dag van makelaarsorganisatie NVM. Er doen ruim 14.000 huizen mee, tegenover een kleine 9000 eind maart. Daarmee is de ontwikkeling terug te zien dat er meer koopwoningen beschikbaar zijn door het verkopen van huurwoningen.
In totaal staan er ruim 100.000 woningen te koop via Funda. Daarmee doet met 14 procent een kleiner percentage mee dan de ongeveer 19 procent van een halfjaar geleden. NVM durft geen voorspelling te doen over het aantal bezoekers, maar hoopt dat dit mee zou stijgen met de hoeveelheid te bezichtigen woningen. In maart waren er 52.000 bezoekers, duidelijk meer dan de 45.000 van oktober vorig jaar, toen het slecht weer was. Deze editie verloopt droog.
Het aantal beschikbare koopwoningen stijgt nog altijd door de eerder ingezette verkoopgolf van huurwoningen, die werd veroorzaakt door ongunstigere belastingregels voor verhuurders. Daarnaast daalt de vraag door de gestegen hypotheekrente, waardoor kopers minder kunnen lenen. Voor de komende maanden verwachten banken ING en ABN AMRO beperkte stijgingen van de huizenprijzen.
KYIV (ANP/RTR) - De Noordelijke Brug over de rivier de Dnipro in de Oekraïense hoofdstad Kyiv is zaterdag geraakt door een Russische aanval. Dat maakte burgemeester Vitali Klitsjko bekend.
Hulpdiensten zijn onderweg naar de plek, aldus de burgemeester. De afgelopen dagen is de Zuidelijke Brug over de Dnipro verschillende keren geraakt door Russische drones.
